Hi,

Wanting to paste some commands/text when being in bash window (_plain_ bash launched by cygwin.bat), this doesn't work when using Windows ME,but works on Windows NT. Is there a workaround ?
Use rxvt instead.

Well you aren't just using "plain" bash. The fact of the matter is you are using an native windows application which acts as a wrapper for command.com. So either way, you still aren't using just plain bash. So why be difficult? Use rxvt, it works and there isn't anything you can do in command.com that you can't do in rxvt.
Because rxvt often doesn't work with certain Windows oriented programs (e.g. ActiveState Perl or Rational's cleartool).

One might try Alt-Space: "E", "P" for the Windows window with bash running inside it.
